This activity is jointly provided by Global Education Group and RMEI Medical Education, LLC.
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of physicians who specialize in allergy/immunology, dermatology, otolaryngology, pulmonology, and primary care.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Describe the role of the type 2 inflammatory cascade in the underlying pathophysiology of atopic diseases
- Identify patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases who are eligible for step-up therapies, including new and emerging biologics
Activity Description
In this interactive panel discussion, 3 multidisciplinary clinical opinion leaders discuss type 2 Inflammation as an underlying cause of asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, with implications for therapeutic choices in patient care.
Statement of Educational Need
Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of atopic diseases highlight the importance and commonality of underlying type 2 inflammation in a range of diseases like asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Key drivers of type 2 inflammation have been identified, with IL-4 and IL-13 playing a central role. In the last few years, biologics targeting type 2 inflammation have emerged as effective treatment options for patients with atopic diseases, particularly in people with moderate-to-severe disease. Because of the relative novelty of these treatments, healthcare professionals should be aware of the pathophysiology of disease, as well as the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of biologics, the rationale for use, and how to incorporate these treatments into management of appropriate patients.

Accredited By
This continuing education activity is provided by
Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is dermatologists, dermatology nurse practitioners, dermatology physician assistants, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with psoriasis.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Review the pathophysiology and comorbidities associated with psoriasis.
- Apply current guideline-directed recommendations to the management of patients with psoriasis.
- Incorporate the latest clinical data, including efficacy and safety of topical treatments and biologics, in therapeutic decision-making to individualize care of patients with psoriasis.
- Implement effective strategies for clinician-patient communication to address patient concerns, treatment expectations, and the importance of adherence to therapy to promote health-related quality of life for patients.
Activity Description
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life (QoL). Unfortunately, many patients with psoriasis do not seek treatment, are undertreated, or do not adhere to traditional treatment protocols. Furthermore, patients with psoriasis are at an increased risk for other serious illnesses and depression. Clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of biologic therapies in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, and these therapies have provided high degrees of disease improvement. In this CE activity, experts in the field will review the pathophysiology of psoriasis and its associated comorbidities, discuss current guideline-directed recommendations for the management of patients, and evaluate the latest clinical data regarding therapeutic decision-making to individualize care. They will also provide insight for effective strategies to enhance clinician-patient communication, address patients’ concerns, treatment expectations, and the importance of adherence to therapy to promote health-related QoL.

Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is dermatologists, dermatology nurse practitioners, dermatology physician assistants, and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with psoriasis.
Learning Objectives
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to:
- Review the pathophysiology and comorbidities associated with psoriasis.
- Apply current guideline-directed recommendations to the management of patients with psoriasis.
- Incorporate the latest clinical data, including efficacy and safety of topical treatments and biologics, in therapeutic decision-making to individualize care of patients with psoriasis.
- Implement effective strategies for clinician-patient communication to address patient concerns, treatment expectations, and the importance of adherence to therapy to promote health-related quality of life for patients.
Activity Description
Psoriasis is a chronic, inflammatory skin condition that can significantly impact a patient’s quality of life (QoL). Unfortunately, many patients with psoriasis do not seek treatment, are undertreated, or do not adhere to traditional treatment protocols. Furthermore, patients with psoriasis are at an increased risk for other serious illnesses and depression. Clinical studies have demonstrated the safety and efficacy of biologic therapies in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, and these therapies have provided high degrees of disease improvement. In this CE activity, experts in the field will review the pathophysiology of psoriasis and its associated comorbidities, discuss current guideline-directed recommendations for the management of patients, and evaluate the latest clinical data regarding therapeutic decision-making to individualize care. They will also provide insight for effective strategies to enhance clinician-patient communication, address patients’ concerns, treatment expectations, and the importance of adherence to therapy to promote health-related QoL.

Fire Fight: Smothering the Flame of Type 2 Inflammation ̶ Patient with Chronic Rhinosinusitis with Nasal Polyps and Comorbid Asthma
StartActivity Details
MOC Point(s)
Expires: December 20, 2021
Provided By
This activity is jointly provided by Global Education Group and RMEI Medical Education, LLC.
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of physicians who specialize in allergy/immunology, dermatology, otolaryngology, pulmonology, and primary care.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Identify patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases who are eligible for step-up therapies, including new and emerging biologics
- Describe how to evaluate quality-of-life issues and psychosocial comorbidities in patients with atopic diseases
Activity Description
In this interactive panel discussion, 3 multidisciplinary clinical opinion leaders discuss management solutions for a real-world chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps patient case that was selected from a community-based clinician submission.
Statement of Educational Need
Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of atopic diseases highlight the importance and commonality of underlying type 2 inflammation in a range of diseases like asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Key drivers of type 2 inflammation have been identified, with IL-4 and IL-13 playing a central role. In the last few years, biologics targeting type 2 inflammation have emerged as effective treatment options for patients with atopic diseases, particularly in people with moderate-to-severe disease. Because of the relative novelty of these treatments, healthcare professionals should be aware of the pathophysiology of disease, as well as the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of biologics, the rationale for use, and how to incorporate these treatments into management of appropriate patients.

Provided By
This activity is jointly provided by Global Education Group and RMEI Medical Education, LLC.
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of physicians who specialize in allergy/immunology, dermatology, otolaryngology, pulmonology, and primary care.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Recognize adverse events related to biologics used to treat atopic diseases
- Describe how to work with a multidisciplinary team to develop a treatment strategy for patients with multiple coexisting atopic diseases
Activity Description
In this interactive panel discussion, 3 multidisciplinary clinical opinion leaders discuss management solutions for a real-world atopic dermatitis patient case that was selected from a community-based clinician submission.
Statement of Educational Need
Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of atopic diseases highlight the importance and commonality of underlying type 2 inflammation in a range of diseases like asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Key drivers of type 2 inflammation have been identified, with IL-4 and IL-13 playing a central role. In the last few years, biologics targeting type 2 inflammation have emerged as effective treatment options for patients with atopic diseases, particularly in people with moderate-to-severe disease. Because of the relative novelty of these treatments, healthcare professionals should be aware of the pathophysiology of disease, as well as the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of biologics, the rationale for use, and how to incorporate these treatments into management of appropriate patients.

Fire Fight: Smothering the Flame of Type 2 Inflammation ̶ Advances in Understanding and Managing Type 2 Inflammatory Diseases
StartFire Fight: Smothering the Flame of Type 2 Inflammation—Advances in Understanding and Managing Type 2 Inflammatory Diseases
Activity Details
MOC Point(s)
Expires: November 22, 2021
Provided By
This activity is jointly provided by Global Education Group and RMEI Medical Education, LLC.
Target Audience
The educational design of this activity addresses the needs of physicians who specialize in allergy/immunology, dermatology, otolaryngology, pulmonology, and primary care.
Learning Objectives
After completing this activity, the participant should be better able to:
- Describe the role of the type 2 inflammatory cascade in the underlying pathophysiology of atopic diseases
- Identify patients with type 2 inflammatory diseases who are eligible for step-up therapies, including new and emerging biologics
Activity Description
In this interactive panel discussion, 3 multidisciplinary clinical opinion leaders discuss type 2 Inflammation as an underlying cause of asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps, with implications for therapeutic choices in patient care.
Statement of Educational Need
Advances in understanding the pathophysiology of atopic diseases highlight the importance and commonality of underlying type 2 inflammation in a range of diseases like asthma, atopic dermatitis, and chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps. Key drivers of type 2 inflammation have been identified, with IL-4 and IL-13 playing a central role. In the last few years, biologics targeting type 2 inflammation have emerged as effective treatment options for patients with atopic diseases, particularly in people with moderate-to-severe disease. Because of the relative novelty of these treatments, healthcare professionals should be aware of the pathophysiology of disease, as well as the efficacy, safety, and tolerability of biologics, the rationale for use, and how to incorporate these treatments into management of appropriate patients.

Target Audience
The intended audience for this activity is allergists, dermatologists, immunologists and other health care professionals involved in the management of patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria.
Learning Objective
Upon successful completion of the activity, participants should be better able to review the strengths and limitations of current guideline approaches to the management of chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU).
Activity Description
Urticaria, a common skin condition characterized by pruritic hives, occurs in 20% to 25% of individuals within their lifetimes. Urticaria can be classified by both symptom duration and underlying etiology. Patients who experience symptom recurrence for a duration more than 6 weeks without a known cause may be diagnosed as having chronic idiopathic urticaria (CIU), also referred to as chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU). This condition has a significant negative impact on physical functioning, work performance, emotional well-being, and overall quality of life, with an impact similar in magnitude to that experienced by patients with coronary disease who are awaiting bypass surgery. A US practice guideline issued in 2014 and an international guideline published in 2018 are available to guide the diagnosis and treatment of urticaria. These guidelines differ in select areas, and specialists need to be knowledgeable about their strengths and limitations to select optimal treatment strategies for their patients. This CME Curbside Consults series features case-based videos that address key challenges in the diagnosis and treatment of CIU/CSU. In this Curbside Consult, Drs. Bernstein and Lang compare existing guidelines for treating urticaria, providing guidance on the application of guidelines recommendations to optimize diagnosis and management of CIU/CSU.
